Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"If your mother were here, and saw the forces your father had spent so much effort to leave in the palace, I think she would have let you take them without hesitation."

Concubine Zhen was not affected by Wang Xifeng's words at all. She just smiled slightly and pushed the paper towards Wang Xifeng again.

But as soon as this was said, Wang Xifeng laughed softly: "Madam Zhen Fei, are you really showing your true colors?

"Are you so anxious to pin this heinous act on my father?"

Concubine Zhen shut her mouth.

"Let's take a step back and say that if these people were planted in the palace by my father, then why would I need you to give me a list?!"

Wang Xifeng looked at Concubine Zhen with interest, and saw her smile fade, "As for the Rong and Ning mansions, everything that happened between me and them will only make them hate me to death.

"Even if their people don't take the opportunity to kill me, they will definitely not be loyal and obey my orders.

"Or maybe, in addition to the people from the Jia and Wang families, there are also people planted by others in Concubine Zhen's list?

"Are you from the Zhen family?

"Or, which one, Your Majesty???"

Concubine Zhen's smile faded away: "Wang Liang Di, if there is trouble in your Wang family, you can tell your father and let his brothers solve it.

“There are many aristocratic families in Jiangnan, including my Zhen family, Jia Wang Shi Xue, and Dong Wang Mu family.

“Even if Jia Wang, Shi Xue and others have offended you, my Zhen family and Dong Wang’s family have never done you any harm.

"You suddenly want to not only frame my Zhen family, but also drag the four princes into the water. Don't you think too highly of yourself?"

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows: "Oh? How do I think too highly of myself?"

"You are just a small concubine of the Eastern Palace. Even if you become a noble concubine after the crown prince ascends the throne, you are nothing in the eyes of the nobles!

"There are so many beauties in Jiangnan." Concubine Zhen sneered, "The Emperor has already said that he will select again next year. Do you think people will stop sending beauties to the palace?"

Wang Xifeng nodded repeatedly: "You are absolutely right. In this case, how about you give this list to the beauty you sent to the palace after the selection next year?"

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Concubine Zhen knew that it would be difficult to reach an agreement today, so she stood up, but did not pick up the paper. She just smiled and said goodbye:

"Liang Di, think about it again.

“After all, your parents are still alive and have left Jiangnan and headed straight to the capital.

"You might as well listen to what they say."

Nod and leave.

Wang Xifeng sat there with a gloomy face.

Ruer walked forward carefully, picked up the paper, and put it into an empty purse. Then she took out an empty mahogany interlocking box from the cabinet, locked the purse in it, and put the key back on the table.

Wang Xifeng didn't even look at the key. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "How dare you threaten me with my parents' lives!"

"After the master and the mistress come to Beijing, won't they live in the courtyard given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? It should be safe, right?" Ru'er glanced at Wang Xifeng.

What kind of safety is that?!

That was basically a disguised form of house arrest! It was even a house arrest that was moved from Jiangnan to the capital and placed right under our noses!

Wang Xifeng took a deep breath and closed her eyes: "I'm tired, I'll take a nap."

Ruer carefully helped her back to the bedroom and gently helped her change clothes and remove makeup.

"Ru'er, when my parents arrive in Beijing, go and greet them." Wang Xifeng looked up at her, "I don't know how many people are coming.

"Go and have a look. If my brother and sister-in-law come with you, then don't worry about anything. Just greet them on my behalf and come back.

"If my brother and his wife had not come, but the adopted daughter of my parents was among those who came, you would have my mother bring the child to the palace to see me."

Ruer nodded vigorously, but smiled comfortingly: "It's still a long way to go. Don't worry."

Wang Xifeng sighed, nodded, and lay down lazily: "Call me when lunch is ready."

Ruer agreed, put down the gauze curtain, closed the palace door, and walked out.

Jing Li, An Er and others were waiting outside eagerly, especially Aunt Meng, who rushed forward and grabbed her hand when she saw her come out:

"Just now I saw Concubine Zhen leave in a rage. Why hasn't Concubine Liang let us in yet? Where is Concubine Liang? What did they say?"

"We had a quarrel. Liang Di fell asleep in anger." Ru'er shook her head, slumped her shoulders, and complained softly, "Why can't everyone just live in peace?"

Fuguier curiously stretched his big fat face towards Ruer: "What's wrong? What's wrong? What does Concubine Zhen want to do?"

"I don't understand either." Ru'er still shook her head, confusion in her eyes, "I don't understand those words, they are so roundabout, I can't remember them.

"Anyway, they probably want our Concubine to reconcile with the Second Master, and with Jia Wang, Shi Xue, and replace Concubine Zhen in the future, and become a backer for the Jiangnan aristocratic families?"

This speculation is basically the conjecture of the entire Daming Palace, and there is no need for Ruer to say it.

Aunt Meng snorted, "It's always the same old shit! There's nothing new to it!"

Went back to my room.

Everyone looked at each other, then dispersed in embarrassment.

A little palace maid was hiding outside the corner of the palace. After listening, she ran into the west wing hall and the bedroom like a flash, and quietly reported what she had heard to Wu Liangyuan.

Wu Liangyuan curled her lips: "Her false nobleness is the most disgusting thing!"

Such a ready-made natural ally, but they actually pushed it away!

Aunt Wanqi was listening in, and after seeing Wu Liangyuan's performance, she had no choice but to send the palace maid away first, and asked Mingming to guard the door, leaving only Juanjuan by the side.

Then he explained to her carefully: "Wang Liang Di is doing the right thing.

“It’s well known that she had a falling out with her uncle and aunt.

"If they suddenly reconcile, then her previous actions are bound to be a show to deceive the emperor. Even if it was just a pretense, she would not easily associate with the Jiangnan family and the four kings and eight dukes.

“As for Concubine Zhen, she was originally a widow who entered the palace and was favored by His Majesty. The Empress fought with her for more than ten years.

“Even though the position of the crown prince was as stable as a rock, the queen always won and lost with her, and she couldn’t help but hate her to the core.

"If Wang Liang Di is openly in cahoots with Concubine Zhen at this moment, and the Empress wants to cause trouble for her, the Crown Princess will not help her!"

Wu Liangyuan was a little bored when she heard this: "How can I not understand this? But she is just a junior, and Concubine Zhen is her stepmother. Even if she shows some respectful gestures, no one will say anything.

"Now she is being so stubborn and pretentious, what else can she be but false nobleness?!"

Aunt Wanqi had no choice but to agree with her first, and then continued to explain: "There is another case, I wonder if Liangyuan has thought of it?"

Wu Liangyuan: "More?!"

"Empress Zhen, the Jiangnan family, the four princes and eight dukes, they are all in the first line.

"Among the families in the palace now, only Wang Liangdi has gained the trust of His Majesty and the Crown Prince.

“So no matter what, Concubine Zhen cannot form an alliance with others.

"Wang Liang Di holds on to this point tightly, so she is not afraid of embarrassing Concubine Zhen at all."

Aunt Wanqi paused and lowered her voice when she said this, "So Liangyuan, in fact, if you are willing, you can pull Concubine Zhen over from Wang Liangdi's side."
